What happened
The council approved 13 routine items on consent, including applying for a $20 million state grant to build affordable housing and green infrastructure.
The council deferred up to $1.2 million in impact fees for a 271-unit affordable apartment project on Nevin Avenue. The developer cannot afford the full fees upfront, which help pay for roads and parks that support new housing.
A 20-year lease of the Cafeteria Building at Point Potrero Marine Terminal was approved for JZP Enterprises. The company will pay the port $1.9 million over the lease term and make structural improvements to the building.
The council temporarily banned new school construction in certain city zones while staff studies the issue. The emergency measure takes effect immediately and will last for a limited time.
Two governance changes passed, both with Mayor Butt voting no. The council removed the rule requiring consultation before pulling consent items for discussion and created a new consent section for policy resolutions on non-city issues.
